Food Delivery Platforms Expand Workforce Unevenly

Food delivery companies like Swiggy and Zomato have been adding more delivery workers over the past two years.

Swiggy added more workers than Zomato, but didn't spend as much money on employee expenses.

Zomato's spending on employees went up a lot, while Swiggy's spending grew more slowly.

This shows that even though more people are being hired, the money they earn isn't growing at the same rate.

Experts say that just counting the number of workers doesn't tell the whole story.

It's important to look at how much they earn, how stable their income is, and how long they stay in the job.

Food delivery and ride-hailing make up most of India's gig workforce, but it's still a very small part of the total jobs in the country.
